Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Judgement of the Catholic Church on the Necessity of Believing That Our Lord Jesus Christ Is Very God, Vol. 3 His resurrection from the dead, and, lastly, His exaltation to the right hand of the Father -then adds, and (notwith standing that he shews himself throughout his treatise too cold a defender of so important a truth) quotes some passages of Holy Scripture, and advances some arguments based on Scripture, to prove; That that preeminence of Sonship, or of being the Son of God, belongs to Jesus Christ in another, and still more peculiar sensez, such as cannot fall under any 2 ratione. Of the four modes already mentioned, or be referred to Jesus Christ, considered as man; since Scripture not unfrequently Speaks of Jesus Christ, i. E. Of Him who was afterwards called Jesus Christ, in such a manner as to preclude all doubt, that He did really exist and subsist, as the true and only offspring of His Father, before His birth, as man, of His mother Mary; and consequently (as he afterwards explains himself more fully) before the creation of the universe; and that in such a way, as that all things were made by Him, and that on that account He is Himself God.
